WebP RIFF chunks

Remove Metadata from WebP Images

WebP is a RIFF container, and its metadata sits in separate chunks: EXIF, XMP, ICCP for color, and C2PA for Content Credentials. BlankAI writes a fresh WebP without them. Safari cannot encode WebP from a canvas, so there the clean copy is a lossless PNG instead, and the report says so.

Animated WebP

BlankAI draws a single frame, so an animated WebP becomes a still image of its first frame. Keep the original if you need the animation.

What BlankAI removes, and what it does not

The same rules apply to every file, whatever made it. BlankAI cleans the metadata that travels with a file. It cannot reach anything that is part of the image itself.

Questions

Why did I get a PNG instead of a WebP?

Safari cannot encode WebP from a canvas and returns PNG. The PNG is lossless. Use Chrome, Edge or Firefox for WebP output.

What quality is used?

92 by default. You can choose 100 or 82 before processing.

Does it keep transparency?

Yes, WebP and PNG output both keep the alpha channel.
